i took a walking tour there in 2010-2011 when you could still walk through the gateway in Mitre square that the killer most probably took considering where the officer came from. I was even able to find mitre square on my own afterwards and brought friends there as a sort of mini ripper walk, from towerhill, past the church and mitre quare.I probably couldnt even find it today, it looks so different. (just to go give extra info to those who dont know, i know you know)

AWESOME VIDEO, MATE...!! I've been a serious student of this case since the mid-1980s.....and made two trips from the USA to London in 1993 & 1994 to walk in the footsteps of all those involved. I've LONG believed that Martha Tabram was indeed Jack's first murder and will go to my grave professing it. Mary Kelly was certainly the last victim. Kosminski? I DO entertain the notion that the killer is likely to be someone that NONE of us have ever heard of. Some time ago, I read someone's take on the identity of the murderer and I completely concur.....and it went something like this: When I get to the Pearly Gates and ask Our Lord who was Jack The Ripper and I hear his name, I'm gonna say "WHO?!?!" LOL

Me and my wife did a tour around that time and made friends with a charming American lady ending up in a local pub. The landlady went out for a load of cigarettes as I had run out, great atmosphere and fond memories. We stayed at the ibis hotel behind Euston Station and saw a few more sights. For me Kosminski is almost certainly the culprit as I believe in the canonical five. What is thought provoking though is the constantly changing face of London, 'Dorset Street' looks quite attractive now but Mitre Square is a bit of something and nothing. Interestingly the gateway at Durward Street is effectively been restored, albeit an entrance/exit to the underground station (which isn't at all in keeping with it's surroundings).

After watching detailed accounts of the discovery of Polly Nichols in Bucks Row, and taking into the account: The probable time of her death The arrival time of Charles Cross The arrival time of Robert Paul The failure of Robert Paul to see any blood The presence of blood when PC Neil arrived just a few minutes later it is my opinion that Charles Cross alias Charles Lechmere WAS Jack the Ripper. There is also a powerful coincidence linking him to the Pinchin Street torso.

A fine, well-presented video presentation of the Whitechapel sites haunted by the forever unidentified Jack the Ripper and his misfortunate victims. I am glad you had the tact to spare us the awful crime scene photographs showing Jack's bestial work in all its gory and demonic aspects. I have been subjected to them one too many times in tacky documentaries on the killings and wish to never lay my eyes on them again! Besides, the contemporary newspaper illustrations do a decent enough job of depicting the grizzly circumstances in which the bodies of the killer's (or several killers') victims were found. On my next visit to London (hopefully soon), I will make a point of joining your tour. While there this summer, I had intended to do so, but its incredible popularity meant all tours for the duration of my short visit were sold out!
